I was over the moon when I found out that the closest Chinese takeaway was within 2,000 feet of our property. Especially given how in some parts of London it feels like you have to start digging a hole to China to get some local chow mein.
The owner is quick, polite, and very decent. The first time I came here, he gave me a pound less than my due change, which I only realized on my 5 minute walk while waiting for food When I came back to pick up, he was the first to point it out. Superb.
Duck Chow Mein:
The duck chow mein is literally the best I've had in London and England. Often the duck is dark in color and dry, flavorless. Here the duck is absolutely perfect- crispy and red with just the right tenderness. It's like 4.95 and it's a large and in charge amount of noodles, duck, and thinly sliced vegetables.
Hot and Sour (Schezuan style) Soup:
Perhaps the best I have ever had, ever. And I have it in every Chinese place I go. Normally the stock/base is thin, though loaded with flavor. Here you get more succulent meat and vegetables than liquid. I am just such a fan. And the portion for like 2.80 is huge. I could literally just have that for lunch with a small salad and be full.
My friend had the Chilli Beef which he said was good quality for value as well. I will most definitely be coming back to this place which I want some straight up stir fry or spiced up soup. Always hits the spot. read more
